Detailed answers for unzipping files, payment verification queues, licensing guidelines, and account recovery.
How do I open and unzip my downloaded storybook package on an iPhone or iPad?
When your download completes in Safari, tap the blue arrow in the address bar and select 'Downloads'. Tap the downloaded ZIP file, and the iOS Files app will automatically unpack it into a folder containing your DRM-free PDF, reflowable EPUB, and MP3 audio narration. You can tap the EPUB to read in Apple Books with night mode, or open the PDF in any viewer. On Android devices, downloaded ZIPs can be tapped directly in the 'Files' app.
How do Creator Royalties and monthly cash payouts work for authors and illustrators?
StoryNest operates on an author-and-illustrator-first publishing model. Creators earn a baseline 70%+ cash royalty on every digital edition sold through our store. You retain 100% of your copyright with non-exclusive publishing rights. Once your balance reaches the $20.00 USD threshold, you can request a cash payout anytime directly to your Bank Account, PayPal, or GCash/Maya wallet from your Creator Studio Workspace. Payout requests are verified and disbursed within 24 to 48 hours.
What is the difference between a Contributor account and a Verified Creator badge?
Anyone with an authentic children’s story or educational artwork can sign up as a Contributor, submit manuscripts, and earn cash royalties. Verification is completely optional; our editorial board grants the Verified Creator badge (a distinguished sky-blue check rosette) to authors and artists with established published titles, verified credentials, or vetted illustration portfolios. Verified badges appear next to names on product pages and search results to instill reader confidence.
What should I do if my GCash payment takes longer than 30 minutes to verify?
During our operating hours (8:00 AM – 10:00 PM PHT), GCash receipt verification normally takes 15–30 minutes. If you submitted outside these hours, your order will be verified first thing at 8:00 AM. If you need priority assistance, simply email your order number and screenshot to support@storynest.com and our on-call admin will expedite it immediately.
How does the In-Browser Story Reader work, and can I read without an app?
Our Web Reader requires zero app installation or plugins. You can open any purchased book directly from your browser on desktop, iPad, Android tablet, or smartphone. The reader includes instant theme toggling (Light, Dark, and warm Sepia), adjustable font sizing for early readers, and synchronized audio playback for guided read-along sessions. You can sample the experience anytime via our Interactive Web Reader Demo →
What printer settings do you recommend for worksheets, coloring pages, and storybooks?
All our worksheets and story packages are rendered in high-contrast vector lines formatted for standard 8.5" × 11" (Letter) and A4 paper. In your printer dialog, select Scale to Fit (100%) and standard black-and-white grayscale for tracing activities and worksheets, or high-quality color for storybook spreads and character cutouts. Every purchase grants perpetual personal and classroom print rights.
How do I restore or look up previous purchases if I lose my email download link?
All your digital purchases are securely archived in our vault. Simply visit My Digital Library and enter either your order confirmation number (e.g., SN-12345) or the email address used during checkout. The system will retrieve your order and refresh your download links immediately.
How many times can I re-download my purchased items?
Each book package includes 10 downloads across all your family devices. Once saved to your device, the DRM-free files are yours to keep forever with no expiry date. If you ever upgrade devices or exhaust your download counter, send us a quick note with your order number and our team will reset your counter free of charge.
